All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam

All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) (lit. All India Anna Dravidian Progress Federation) is a state political party in the states of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, India. It is currently in power in Tamil Nadu and is the third largest party in the Lok Sabha. It is a Dravidian party and was founded by M.G. Ramachandran (popularly known as MGR) on 17 October 1972 as a breakaway faction of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK). Since 1989, AIADMK has been led by J. Jayalalithaa, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.The party headquarters is located in Royapettah, Chennai, and was donated to the party in 1986 by its former leader Janaki Ramachandran, MGR's wife. Coalitions headed by the party have won the elections to the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly six times, making it the most successful political outfit in the state's history.

History

MGR era (1972–1987)

The party was founded in 1972 as Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (ADMK) by MGR, a veteran Tamil film star and a popular politician, as a breakaway faction of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) led by M. Karunanidhi, the then chief minister of Tamil Nadu, owing to serious differences between the two. Later, MGR prefixed the All India (AI) tag to the party's name. Since its inception, the relationship between the AIADMK and DMK has been marked by mutual contempt. MGR used his fan network for building the party cadre and estimates claim his party recruited more than a million members from the first two months of creation. The party tasted victory for the first time by winning the Dindigul parliamentary by-election in 1973 and also won the Coimbatore assembly by-election a year later. AIADMK grew close to the Congress by supporting the Emergency which occurred between 1975 and 1977.

The Chainsaw

by: Attomica

Hear the noise of a killin' machine
The chainsaw starts to cut your skin
Dilacerated flesh is pulling from your face
Breakin' you bones, the sound of disgrace
The choper works, your legs like a tree
Ripping you members slow and deep
The first act is an amputation
The final reason is the mutilation
Your arms with a blood spill
Bringin' the pain that you never felt
An eternal agony comes to your soul
The chainsaw law has no control
The eyes of death are ready to kill
Your head is the first prize of slaughter's thrill
The chainsaw stops, the death comes fast
You're fuckin' ready for the final rest
The prime pleasure of his dirty mind
Killing he finds his real reason to live
